Not yet clean

Banda, who returned home on last Saturday from 4 years of self-imposed exile, said during a rally held on Sunday in Zomba, that she is “clean”. JB claimed she had been cleared by both the ACB and International Police (Interpol).

But ACB Director General Reyneck Matemba Joyce Banda’s claims as “not true”.

“We never cleared her. She is still under investigation” Matemba has been quoted as saying.

She has been mentioned as Cashgate’s biggest fish. Several other high level convicts and suspects such as Leonard Kalonga, Treza Sensani (now deceased) and Oswald Lutepo named Banda as the primary beneficiary of the loot.

ACB is investigating the role JB played in the Cashgate scandal.

It was widely believed she left Malawi to escape arrest on cashgate charges.

  3. Aliko azimayi anzawo ku maula mukuchedwetsatu kuwathira masten ndi unyolowo

  4. Sad state that ACB could not complete an investigation after 4 years the senior managers should be replaced with better skilled investigators.

    JB was the one requesting investigations and has been the only president to ensure convictions.

    Matemba should resign
